Brutal Doom Dual-Wielding New Doom’s Guns

Share this:

The new Doom certainly seems to have a touch of Brutal Doom [official site] in it, what with all the ripping and tearing and whatnot, so it’s only fair that in return Brutal Doom should get a bit of D44m [thousands of letters from Doom enthusiasts have flooded into the RPS treehouse demanding we call the new game that -ed.]. Out now and recently updated is a Brutal Doom add-on boshing D44m’s weapons into the ultraviolent mod for ye olde Doom. Yes, of course you can dual-wield super shotguns. And heck yes you can transform into demons. Have a look at this in action:

Brutal Doom looks a little less ridiculous since D44m got in on its fun but yep, that’s still pretty wild. The add-on adds D44m’s weapons, many of which can be dual-wielded, with their alt-fire modes and drones to upgrade some. New ‘Demon Rune’ power-ups can transform Ian Doom into a Baron of Hell or Revenant too.

This isn’t the final version of this add-on either. “I am still going to make a version 3, adding the remaining multiplayer weapons, and allowing the demon rune to turn the player into a Mancubus, Cacodemon, or Cyberdemon,” says Brutal Doom boss ‘Sergeant_Mark_IV’. He released the first version in June then this latest update added dual-wielding and other newbits.

Doom modder ‘Necronixxis’ created these weapon sprites, by the way, painting over screenshots from gameplay videos (D44m wasn’t out when they started).

That ricochet sound is way too loud. Shooting with double (quad?) shotguns makes a “phieew” sound instead of “THUMMM-schloc” bacause of that, laser pistol sucks as much as in D44m and the original super shotgun was better. Otherwise I like this.
